useCurrentUser Custom React Hook

Get details of the currently logged in Sanity user

getCurrentUser.js

import userStore from 'part:@sanity/base/user'
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'

export function useCurrentUser() {
  const [user, setUser] = useState()

  useEffect(() => {
    userStore.currentUser.subscribe(e => setUser(e.user))
  }, [])

  if (!user) {
    return {}
  }

  return user
}

Sometimes you want to gate or modify your custom Studio components based on the current logged in user.

This Custom Hook can be dropped into any component to get the user's ID, email address, and more.
